  1. Re:Obama should do a fact check... on Obama Unveils Major Climate Change Proposal · · Score: 1

    Explain how come Venecians were trying to keep the Adriatic out of their city way back in the 14th century. No evil Man Made CO2 to blame. Face it, it's natural. It's happened before and it'll happen again, and again.... and eventually we'll end up with lead rain like Venus has. We'll be an iceball before that, however. Absolutely NO scientific proof that CO2 causes or has anything to do with GW other than a symptom. It always follows warming. Don't believe me - show me then. I dare you. Otherwise, admit man made global warming is a hoax to make a very small number of people very rich so we don't feel bad about it anymore.

  2. Re:Could not agree more on Obama Unveils Major Climate Change Proposal · · Score: 1

    Ok, I'll bite again. So far nobody has reeled me in:
    Show me that CO2 is causing GW. Not your opinion, or someone else - a scientific proof.

    Science isn't science if it isn't repeatable. So far I haven't even seen an experiment to show that CO2 is the cause and not a symptom. In fact, historical graphs show CO2 lags warming. If anything it's a symptom, not a cause as shown by historical data.

    Therefore, cutting CO2 does nothing, well except pay certain people like Algore a boatload of money so you feel better. You should admit it. Understand if I'm wrong, I'm wrong - show me.

  3. How soon? on New Telemetry Suggests Shot-Down Drone Was Higher Than Alleged · · Score: 1

    How soon before someone brings one of these drones to a MLB or NFL game. Then what? They'll be ok with it? Yea, right. They may not shoot it down, however I bet they send goons out to find the guy running it and beat them severely.

  4. More agressive recently on GasBuddy Has a New Privacy Policy (Spoiler: Not As Customer Friendly) · · Score: 1

    I installed that app years ago. Registered it, contributed to it. Around 6 months or so, somehow I wasn't registered anymore. Yet they still have my e-mail address. Then they started sending me e-mails. They wanted me to do stuff. Everybody around here is within a cent or two anyhow. So why am I concerned about this? Something changed over there. Think I'll de-install it. Besides, Waze has that stuff too I think.

  5. Re:Multi-factor is the only right way on What Federal Employees Really Need To Worry About After the Chinese Hack · · Score: 1

    Being a Bid Dick and all, you are a perfect candidate to be in charge of security at OMB. Being a Dick seems to be the only qualification you need.

    Don't be so silly. You have to also be a really big asshole.

  6. Not convinced on Four-legged Snake Fossil Stuns Scientists, Ignites Controversy · · Score: 1

    Sure they have something. We don't know what it is. Since it's a fossil we don't know how it happened. Could it be something else happened to land on it after death or was below it before death? We don't know. Show me more with the bone structures in the same place. Then we'll have something. Now it's just a curiosity. Need more proof.

    Actually, I view McCain as a war criminal.

    It's not nice to leave us hanging like that. Way off topic from the snake, however could you tell us why you think that? I don't recall seeing anything about his war record that would make me think that. While he was a pilot off the the O?

  8. Re:As a former expert on What Non-Experts Can Learn From Experts About Real Online Security · · Score: 1

    Not true. If your production environment is set up correctly, you have a development, test and production setup. Dev and test guys don't get to touch the production stuff. I've been doing that for around 30 years. No problem. Those that don't, problems.

    Let's be real here. Most companies don't care about security. For windows most of them will do the updates. For Linux, Solaris, (your favorite brand Unix) - often never. They forgetaboutit. Even then, almost all the time it's the windows box that gets hacked. Companies don't think it's worth the expense to hire good security guys. Often that's all the way down to their lobby.

  9. Re:It is disheartening to see ... on Affair Site Hackers Threaten Release of All User Data Unless It Closes · · Score: 1

    I've actually received some AM e-mail. For the most part - your partner doesn't need to know. Everything is discreet. We won't tell. Come on, have fun! It's safe!

    Not me... I'd be the guy they would send to the press to show they have data. Everyone would know about me. That's how I know there really is a God, and he has a sense of humor that way.

    grrr.... it's "pence" not "cents".

    If you're going to go all the effort of converting to GBP, you could have at least got that right, couldn't you?

    I'm surprised. So many people in the US call our cents pennies. A lot of people don't even know we don't make pennies.

    No worries, at least the UK has had enough sense to not use the euro. Something I don't think has a legal right to even exist since it was never voted in. At least the last I knew even France voted it down.

  13. Gnome contamination on What the GNOME Desktop Gets Right and KDE Gets Wrong · · Score: 1

    What gets me is gnome crap invading KDE. Like evolution and the gnome password thingy. Suddenly it's asking for a password, there is none. So I restore the Default keyring. Works for about a week, then it's corrupted again. So where's the genius that did that so I can punch him in the nose?

    So I go back to trying to use gnome. In about a week is all I can stand. Feel like it's an interface for retarded people or perhaps windows users. Probably just me. I used to use and like twm. All I had. Ok, ok... get off of my lawn!

    If they're getting a patent on it, you can bet it works. Otherwise there's no reason to get one. Now they can use it for 17 years. Why start a clock when you can't use it? That's one side, on the other the patent examiners will grant almost anything. They've been made fun of for years. Hey - let's patent the wheel again!

    Reason why he posted as AC. He's full of it. It has a half life and is radioactive. I'd offer to put a half Lbs under his pillow and dare him to keep it there for half a year. He won't be around anymore. It's not like you're going to die within an hour radioactive. It's still "hot". I think I still have some dishes around that are "hot".

    Yea, global warming. It has not thing to do with the neoniconoids http://www.nature.com/nature/j... . So now we're willing to kill our bees on the global warming alter? What a load of crap. As if bees can't take change. They live from the equator all the way up to the arctic circle.

    Don't believe it. More man made global warming BS. Yes, we are warming up. Check out Venice in the 1300s, the Adriatic was coming in way back then. No man made GW back then - obviously. None now. Just a way to take money from all of us and give it to guys like Al Gore and Maurice Strong.

    I can imagine in. We would not have launched an unjustified invasion of a sovereign nation that cost us trillions of dollars and thousands of American lives. Evidently that would have been a terrible thing?

    You really shouldn't be fooling yourself like that. Gore would have had the same information Bush, Senator Clinton and 99.9% of the house did - and voted to do it. Would he have been a wuss or fight? Who knows. I think even he would have decided to invade. Democrats have a history of doing that. I'm sure he would have found a way to make it a lot more expensive. Just like the fool we have right now. 18T right now. Up from 7 when he took over from Bush. So don't even go on about the expense, unless you're willing to go on a big diatribe about how terrible BHO is. It's not hard, he's the worst. Even Jimmy Carter said so. He's no longer the worst.

    Never know though. Truman was a very hard worker, however not that smart. He took us into Korea. Other than that he didn't do to bad.

    Marriage was simply a way to beat a man up in the first place. Use the law to enforce the relationship. He cheats, she takes him to the cleaners.

    More seriously, Marriage was a religious construct put into law thousands of years ago, across the world. So it's strange that gays - people who are not very religious to begin with want to change it. They're still a very very small minority of people, telling us what to do. Not sure why we're allowing this.
